Tankless Water Heater Installation · Des Moines, Iowa

Tankless Water Heater Installation in Des Moines, Iowa

Tankless is a genuinely better system when it is installed properly and a constant headache when it is not. Most of the failed units we are called to in Des Moines are starved of gas or vented badly by an installer who treated it like a tank swap. A tankless heater wants its own correctly sized gas run, stainless vent, and a service valve kit so it can be descaled.

Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Tree roots and the front yard

Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Des Moines streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

Des Moines customers on our tankless water heater installation work

★★★★★

Fair price, showed up when they said, and did not leave a mess. I do not know how to review a plumber more highly than that.

Sam I. · Des Moines, IA

★★★★★

They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

Lena M. · West Des Moines, IA

★★★★★

Sewer camera before we finished the basement. Clean line, no work needed, and they said so. Plenty of places would have found something.

Tankless Water Heater Installation in Des Moines: common questions

Is a tankless water heater worth it in Des Moines?

If you regularly run out of hot water or you want the space back, yes. If your household is two people who never run out, a good tank is the better value. We give you both prices and our honest read on your Des Moines home.

Will my gas line handle a tankless heater?

Often not as-is. A tankless burner can call for far more gas than a tank. We check the meter, the run length and the pipe size before quoting, and include any upsizing in the number rather than discovering it on install day.

How often does a tankless heater need servicing?

In hard water - which covers a lot of Des Moines - plan on descaling every twelve to eighteen months. We fit isolation valves on every install so that service is quick and inexpensive.

Can a tankless heater run two showers at once?

A correctly sized unit can. That is exactly what the sizing conversation is for: we count your simultaneous fixtures and pick a unit that covers them at Iowa groundwater temperatures, not at some warm-climate rating.

How much does a plumber cost in Des Moines?

We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
